We chose Julie DaSilva based on her expert knowledge of our neighborhood and reputation for dedicated service. Julie exceeded our expectations in both areas and was a tremendous partner to us in the sale of our home. From the start of the process with pricing and staging recommendations to consistent follow up throughout, Julie and her team made what could have been a stressful process very straightforward. Additionally that extra "personal extra touch" from Julie ensured someone always had our back and was advocating for us. We would definitely partner with Julie and her team again and highly recommend her for your next home sale!

Julie DaSilva from Avalar Austin Real Estate was outstanding in her customer support through out the leasing process of our house.
She did timely research, set a price for us, answered all our rookie questions patiently, got all the marketing material going and was able to lease the house quickly. She was very responsive to our concerns and educated us quite a bit on the renting process. She understands the local market really well. We were amazed by her work ethic and professionalism. I would go to her for future needs without blinking an eye.

The pleasure was all ours.
Your genuine kindness and empathy complimented your professionalism with which you helped us along every step of the way in the process. We always respected that never once during the year we rented did you or Michael try to push your business onto us. I don’t think we knew Michael was a realtor until sometime this last spring. Instead you were kind, generous, and gracious neighbors who responded with class and expertise when we needed your help finding a permanent home for our family. So thank you!! And the door is always open.

Julie was absolutely amazing!
I have worked with several realtors in the past and she was my favorite. She really took the time to explain all the details and always made herself available to answer questions. I felt like she really cared and kept our priorities at the forefront.

"We have worked with a handful of Realtors in the past and none have been as thorough, professional and friendly as Julie.
We had initially considered selling by owner but quickly changed our mind after an initial consultation with Julie. And boy are we glad we chose to use her! The amount of work that goes into selling your home is unknown by the seller but I know Julie was working on our behalf behind the scenes every day. Our home sold in adequate time and (more importantly), for the price range we wanted! Thank you Julie!"

I highly recommend Julie as a realtor.
We had to sell our home in the Bee Cave area quickly as we were moving out of state with a tight timeline and she was able to make it happen. Her marketing and research is thorough and extensive. She’s constantly working with buyers and sellers to match people up to their dream homes immediately. Her great personality and access to resources is a huge plus as well. You will feel like you have someone working 24/7 around the clock for you with your best interest in mind. We knew we were in great hands. Thanks again!

Today we officially become owners of this beauty.
Every day this Texas dream of ours becomes more and more of a reality. This house is more of a dream home than I ever expected to own at our age, but yet, it’s ours. The more things fall into place for us here the more I’m convinced that this move to Texas was what we were meant to do. The best part of the whole thing was that we made good friends out of the deal. Believe it or not, that is more important to us than having a beautiful home.

Our experience with Julie and Michael was 100% positive through out the whole process.
Our home was under contract within 24 hours of listing and for $5000 more than the asking price. Julie communicated with us on a daily basis and took care of every detail that came up. We have bought and sold 8 homes over the last 30 years and this sales experience was, BY FAR, the least stressful. But Julie wasn't through. She assisted in recommending a reputable mover and found a home for us to lease while my wife and I build our new home on Lake Travis. I am not easy to please but I can't think of one thing Julie could have done better. If you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable realtor, Julie DaSilva is the gal for you!

Julie & Michael have been really helpful in selling our home recently.
They have a very strong experience and understanding of the Austin real estate market. They helped us price the home just right and marketed if very well to draw enough interest even during the slow winter months. Apart from being very professional & meticulous in their work, they are very friendly and made this process stress free for us. We would highly recommend them without any reservations & sure that they'll exceed your expectations.

I highly recommend Julie DaSilva as a Realtor.
This was our seventh house purchased so we have seen it all in realtors. She is personable, very responsive, pro-active, detail oriented, and goes above and beyond on all points as a realtor. We couldn't have asked for any better.

Julie has been helping with renting our house for over a year now.
We could not be happier. She knows the area and her trade quite well. She is well connected to buyers/renters and other people who provide services. At no time did our house sit on the market for more than three days. She has always gone beyond what was expected out of her and took great care of us. Even though we are time zones away from our property, we have been at ease since we know Julie is there to take care of any eventuality. She is always available, even on her vacations, and responds promptly to our texts/emails/calls. I highly recommend her.

We're so excited to already have received an offer & be under contract on our home after only being on the market for 4 days!
Our experience working with our dear friend, Julie DaSilva & Avalar Real Estate has been phenomenal. She has been a perfect fit for our families needs in selling this house. Avalar provides top notch service, attention to detail, staging, professional photography, marketing and advertising, and communicating with potential buyers - everything has been by far our best experience ever. We would highly recommend using her if you all are thinking of selling your house or buying another.

Just wanted to send a shout out to the team at Avalar Realty.
Selling and buying a home can be an extremely stressful time. Michael & Julie DaSilva went above and beyond to make these transitions as smooth as possible for me and my family. If you are planning to sell or looking to buy, I highly recommend them. Who better to sell a home in the BC than a BC neighbor. Can NOT thank them enough.

We can’t sing Julie’s praises enough!

We want to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful support and helping us lease our home in a very professional and a timely manner.
We were a little worried if we would be able to lease the home on time considering the times we are living in these days. Not only did we lease it on time, but we also found good tenants. It was an excellent experience working with you right through our first interaction and helping us prepare the home for pictures and showings. Thank you again for everything!

We were moving across the world and Julie handled everything for what had become an international transaction perfectly!
Julie knows our neighborhood and even if she did not, we had trust in her ability to represent our property ethically, aligned to our values (family, etc.), and with our goals in mind. Julie provided excellent guidance, resources (for repairs, etc.), responsiveness and updates. We would highly recommend you consider Julie for your home sale/buy.

Julie was a dream come true realtor!
She was recommended to us since she knew the ins-and-outs of the Bee Cave neighborhood and was able to provide us with that expertise and so much more. Julie helped give us a sense of the market in Austin (as we had moved back to California), provided us with clear direction and guidance, was timely in her work and response, and proved to be a strategic, trusted key point of contact in selling our home. She recommended the best time to put our home in the market, price it strategically, and helped us manage the details to close quickly. Her expert guidance, yet flexibility in working with us and our busy family was certainly appreciated. It was a pleasure working with her, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her or recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
